Azerbaijan and Cambodia have canceled visa requirements for
diplomats, Azernews reports, citing the Foreign Ministry.
As part of the third round of bilateral consultations between
the Foreign Ministries of the two countries on June 1, in Baku,
Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Elnur Mammadov and his
Cambodian counterpart Chem Widhya inked an agreement on visa
exemption for holders of diplomatic passports, the report
added.
During the meeting, the parties reviewed the present condition
of bilateral relations, as well as the potential for extending and
growing cooperation in political, economic, humanitarian, and other
spheres.
Mammadov informed his colleague about the regional post-conflict
situation, the progress of demining Azerbaijan's liberated regions,
and restoration and building activities carried out in these
lands.
The parties also discussed prospects for cooperation between the
two countries within the framework of international organizations,
including Azerbaijan's chairmanship in the Non-Aligned Movement
(NAM), and Cambodia's chairmanship in the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Widhya thanked Mammadov for the hospitality, reminding him that
the two previous meetings were also held in an atmosphere of
cordial friendship and mutual commitment to further enhancing the
relations between the two nations.
Azerbaijan and Cambodia are strengthening diplomatic relations
and cooperation with Azerbaijan. The three rounds of the bilateral
consultations were followed by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's
visit to Azerbaijan on April 23-24, 2014.
Both sides reviewed the bilateral ties and exchanged views on
regional and international issues while setting up a roadmap for
future cooperation to advance ties in potential areas of common
interest.
Cambodia is willing to assist the demining of Azerbaijani
liberated territories, in collaboration with the Japan
International Cooperation Agency (JICA), said Somathy Prak,
secretariat chief of the Cambodian Mine Action Centre, on the
sidelines of the international conference 'Humanitarian de-mining
and sustainable development goals' held in April, in Baku.
Azerbaijan and Cambodia established diplomatic relations on
February 2, 1995. In 2021, Azerbaijan imported goods worth $2.2
million from Cambodia, according to the United Nations COMTRADE
database on international trade.
